BEHIND THE DRINK
The story & background
The French Connection reference uses equal quantities of cognac and amaretto. It is a short stirred drink built on brandy and almond-liqueur character rather than fresh citrus.
This spirit-led drink depends on accurate measures and controlled dilution. Stir with fresh ice until chilled; choose the base spirit first, then use the supporting ingredients in the written proportions.
